On 21st May this year we held our Annual Member Meeting, as we do every year.

A Central London venue is always important, as this ensures as many members as possible can travel easily to the event and contribute their ideas, feedback and experience in order to move the business forward in ways which empower and help all members.

However, this year was one we will truly not forget, as recently refurbished Cafe Royal hosted us. We can only say the most enormous thank you, to Marina Ionina,  who manages the hotel’s weddings, and the entire team who welcomed us, gave us a tour, fed and watered us to a standard way above and beyond expectations and generally looked after us like royalty.

No tiny detail had not been thought of and we, as Directors, were so grateful that members were able to interact, have small informal meet ups before and afterwards, and generally gain as much from the session as possible.

We were also treated to the most gorgeous goody bags, for which many thanks indeed.
